Jury Convicts Ohio Woman of Attempted Murder in New Year’s Party Shooting

Prosecutors attribute the attack to her discovery that both men were at the same party.

Overview

  • A Warren County jury on Feb. 3, 2026 found Olivia Clendenin, 29, guilty of attempted murder, two counts of felonious assault, and illegal discharge at or into a habitation.
  • The case stems from a Jan. 1, 2025 shooting at a home on Dearth Road in Clearcreek Township, Ohio.
  • Prosecutors say she returned with a .40-caliber handgun and fired eight shots, striking a 29-year-old man who was seated on the porch in the abdomen.
  • Authorities say she crashed her mother’s Jeep shortly after the gunfire, then was arrested and later released on $200,000 bail with electronic monitoring and a no-contact order.
  • Sentencing will follow a pre-sentence investigation, and a court date has not yet been scheduled.
